Abstract

Stability regions of nonlinear dynamical systems may suffer drastic changes as a consequence of parameter variation. These changes are triggered by local or global bifurcations of the vector field. In this chapter, these changes are studied for two types of local bifurcations on the stability boundary: saddle-node bifurcations and Hopf bifurcations on the stability boundary. Local and global characterizations of the stability boundary (the topological boundary of stability region) will be developed at the bifurcation points and the behavior (changes) of stability boundaries and stability regions at these bifurcations will be studied.
